Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and his ensuing descent into madness is proof that the horror genre is based on real life: It's not just in books that someone makes an expensive and hubristic purchase of a cursed item that causes their life to unravel. And I think that's neat.
@AP "I'm against cruel GOP policies, until those same policies benefit my elite donor bases agenda. Then I pursue these policies with my compassionate liberal smile."
So many self-flattering think pieces by western "experts on authoritarianism" who'd contrast Putin's closed bubble of yes-men loyalists feeding his bad authoritarian information loop, vs the superior free open informed decision-making that bless the leaders of our "democracies"
People who support unchecked immigration should look at Palestine as a warning
Jews didn't start to immigrate to Palestine until the early 1900’s
By the early 1940’s they already were already stealing land and launching terrorists attacks, poisoning wells, and raping and killing
By 1947 they had ethnically cleansed most of the country
Now we know @nytimes "Hamas mass rape" hoax—which like NYT's Iraqi WMD hoax directly killed thousands of Arabs—was ordered from the top. NYT editors sent pro-war extremist Amat Schwartz & her nephew out on an afikomen hunt for a story already pre-written.

after repeatedly denying Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Bernie Sanders is asked if he supports sanctioning Israel. He says "I'm nervous about that for any country." That's a lie. He voted for sanctioning Venezuela, Russia, North Korea, and others. He's a Zionist liar
Obama ordered 563 drone strikes that killed approximately 3,797 people.
One of his first CIA drone strikes was at a funeral, murdering 41 innocent Pakistani civilians.
He has never been charged or held accountable, instead, he was given the Nobel "Peace" prize.
Julian Assange speaking in 2011: "The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war" #FreeAssange
However Bad You Think Israel Is, It's Worse
"So it turns out the IDF has been running a Telegram channel featuring homemade snuff films in which Gazans are brutally murdered by Israeli forces, captioned with celebrations of the gore and pain therein."

Heartbreaking, just awful.
Chris Hedges an honest, brave man is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years for The New York Times, where he served as the Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for the paper.
Israel's Lebensraum master plan for Gaza, borrowed from the Nazis' depopulation of Jewish ghettos, is clear.
Destroy infrastructure, medical facilities and sanitation, including access to clean water.
Block shipments of food and fuel.
Impose telecommunications blackouts.
Unleash indiscriminate industrial violence to kill and wound hundreds a day.
Let starvation and epidemics of infectious diseases, along with the daily massacres and the displacement of Palestinians from their homes, turn Gaza into a mortuary.
Israel has killed or seriously wounded close to 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza, almost one in every 20 inhabitants.
It has destroyed or damaged 60% of the housing.

The Nazis ship their victims to death camps.
The Israelis will ship their victims to squalid refugee camps in countries outside of Israel.
This is the plan. No one, especially the Biden administration, intends to stop it.
The most disturbing lesson I learned while covering armed conflicts for two decades is that we all have the capacity, with little prodding, to become willing executioners.
(................................................)
We can all become Nazis. It takes very little.
in eternal vigilance over evil, our evil, we become, like those carrying out the mass killing in Gaza, monsters.
Perhaps the saddest irony is that a people once in need of protection from genocide now commit it.
